It’s time to get your novel ready for readers with an epic Black Friday deal for epic writers!
In Reader Ready Revisions, you’ll learn to revise your book like an editor, so you can stop second-guessing every sentence and finally create a book you’re proud to share with the world.
You want readers to love your book, but revision feels impossible.
Let me guess, you’ve…
✅ Read all the craft books.
✅ Taken more writing classes than you can count.
✅ Signed up for every summit & virtual conference you can find.
…but somehow you’re no closer to actually finishing your book and sharing it with readers.
You just need a revision process that feels doable, not overwhelming.
You need to figure out what works for your book.
As an editor, I see where my clients start—flat characters, saggy middles, and subplots that go nowhere.
But I also see where they end up: multi-book deals with big-5 publishers, self-published books with dozens of 5-star reviews, and most importantly, books they’re proud to share with their readers.
They didn’t need to be special or magical or born with natural talent.
They got feedback and support that allowed them to create an amazing book.
Now, I’ve taken the process I use with my editing clients and turned it into a step-by-step process you can use to turn your messy draft into a book readers actually buy, love, and recommend.
Here are a couple of those success stories in action…
Here’s what my students have to say…
Olivia was my editor and field guide through this manuscript. She understood the story I was telling from our very first conversation and helped me shape it into the best version it could be. She navigated my anxiety spirals and rambling emails with grace, and her input was invaluable on every page. She's a gem, the person in my corner I didn't know I needed until we met.

In the past, the Reader Ready Revisions curriculum was only available in my $996+ group coaching program.
But this Black Friday, you can get all the lessons, worksheets, cheat sheets, and bonus videos for just $297!
In this brand new, self-paced version of Reader Ready Revisions, you’ll use my 4-phase revision method to turn your draft into a reader-ready novel without spiraling or taking a sledgehammer to your book—no matter how messy it is right now.
I created this program to support writers through every step of the revision process.
This course isn’t about finding a bunch of problems to solve.
It’s about empowering you to amplify the things that are already working while you address issues that will keep readers from loving your story as much as you do.
The best part? You can work entirely at your own pace. No live coaching calls to join or catch up on. No worrying about polishing your work so you can submit it for feedback. No wondering if you’re really ready to work with a coach.
All you need to do is commit to soaking in every lesson and applying it to your draft.
Here’s what my students have to say…
The Reader Ready Revisions course gave me the tools and a consistent framework for first analysing a draft in depth, and then formulating a plan to resolve all the problems discovered without getting stuck in my usual loop of "Ah but if I fix this, now I have an issue over there instead."
Before, even when I tried to use a reverse outline, I didn't know what questions to ask beyond checking if “this sorts of feel off" which means beta-readers often ended up pointing out developmental problems later, when they're much more difficult to fix. The worksheets with all the questions were so helpful, and the additional handouts also make it very easy to refer back to the material.
To anyone else who's ever struggled with revising a novel, not knowing where to start, or how to organise the work: I cannot recommend this course highly enough.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
Phase One: Visualize Your Finished Book
By the end of phase one, you’ll know exactly what shelf your book belongs on, who it’s for, and what will make those readers love it — so you can stop revising in circles and start writing toward a clear target.
That looks like…
Profiling your ideal readers
Locking in your genre & subgenre
Drafting your dream 5-star review
Crafting a north-star blurb
Identifying your tentative publishing plan
Understanding your book’s job - a.k.a. what it must do to satisfy readers
Phase Two: Analyze Your Draft
By the end of phase two, you’ll know exactly what’s happening in your draft right now—the great, the not so great, and everything in between—so you can approach your revisions with focus and clarity.
That looks like…
Creating a snapshot of your story to simplify your revisions.
Working through bite-sized lessons on essential plot-level narrative elements including conflict, character arcs, structure, and more!
Analyzing every part of your manuscript with a step-by-step process I created based on the trends I saw in 50+ client novels.
If that sounds overwhelming, don’t worry. You’ll get cheat sheets & fillable/printable worksheets to guide you through every lesson.
Plus, I’ve included examples based on real, unrevised books so you can see what developmental issues look like in real life.
Phase Three: Strategize Your Revisions
By the end of phase three, you’ll know the root causes behind your draft’s biggest problems and have a clear, strategic plan to tackle every issue holding your book back.
That looks like…
Making strategic changes to your reverse outline first so you can test revisions in a fraction of the time it takes to revise your entire draft.
Learning to address multiple issues at once so you can fix your whole book, not just individual elements.
Once again, you’ll have cheat sheets & worksheets guiding you every step of the way and a sample outline revision from a real, unpublished book to reference as you work.
Want more help? You can add an outline critique for just $50 (that’s a $47 discount off my outline critique service). Buying during the presale? Your outline critique is free!!
Phase Four: Revise Your Manuscript
In the final phase, you’ll follow your revised reverse outline, rewriting your novel scene-by-scene with the confidence that comes from knowing exactly what you’re fixing and why.
By the end, you’ll have turned your messy draft into a story you’re proud to share with the world.
That looks like…
Evaluating and rewriting scenes with a simple step-by-step process because your novel is only as strong as the sum of its parts (and scenes are those parts).
Using the work you’ve already done to revise efficiently and effectively.
Preparing to face the most common revision pitfalls in advance so they don’t trip you up later and knowing exactly what to expect in future rounds of editing.
When you’re done, you’ll have a coherent story that your future readers will love!
Here’s how you’ll learn in each phase of this course:
Bite-sized video lessons full of specific examples & step-by-step guidance.
Downloadable cheat sheets to reference as you work.
Printable + editable worksheets to guide your analysis.
Plus, learn your way with downloadable audio to listen on the go, captions for all videos, and printable, edited transcripts for each lesson.
Plus, you’ll get these helpful resources:
Genre Research Walkthrough Samples: The best way to understand what readers want is to see what they’re saying about books they already love. To show you how to research your genre effectively, you’ll get two bonus workshops.
In the first 30-min, over-the-shoulder walkthrough, I’ll show you how to use Amazon & Goodreads to research genre expectations for a fantasy romance novel and set reader experience goals. Then, in the second 1-hour workshop version, I’ll guide you to identify comps and research a less-defined subgenre of fantasy and help you turn that work into actionable goals.
Structure System Guide: Not sure which structure system is best for your book? I’ll walk you through the pros & cons of popular structure systems and my suggestions for picking the one that will work for your book.
The 8 Elements of a Scene: In this bonus module, I’ll walk you through the eight elements of a scene. Plus, I’ll share annotated examples from published books in multiple genres so you can see varied examples of scenes that work because one size does NOT fit all.
And these exclusive Black Friday bonuses!

Live Reverse Outline Revision Workshop - 1/23 @ 11am!
On January 23rd at 11:00am, we’ll meet on Zoom to review your reverse outlines live!
Here’s what we’ll do:
Review what makes a reverse outline successful.
Work through four crucial tests that will ensure your story is working at a plot & structural level.
Discuss what to do with your reverse outline once you’re done revising.

Here’s what Reader Ready Revisions students are saying…
The same great content. Now, 100% self-paced.
Hi, I’m Olivia, and I help writers!
Once upon a time, I was an English & Reading teacher, trying my best to turn struggling students into confident writers.
Then, I started writing fiction and realized that everything I was teaching my students was the opposite of what professional writers were actually doing to succeed.
Now, I help fiction writers unlearn the misconceptions keeping them stuck and master the skills that actually matter to their success.
After helping over 50 writers as a developmental editor & book coach, I’ve poured everything I know about teaching and supporting writers into this group program so you can turn your writing dreams into a reality.
Featured Testimonial
Working with Olivia has been one of the most important investments I’ve made in my novel. Her editorial eye is nothing short of exceptional: sharp, thoughtful, and deeply attuned to the heart of the story. Her attention to detail is outstanding, and her feedback is the perfect balance of direct and nurturing. She doesn’t just point out what needs work, she proposes solutions and helps you elevate what's already working well. I can say with full confidence that I won’t trust my future manuscripts with anyone else.

I designed Reader Ready Revisions to help writers create and achieve their own definition of success.

A personalized vision of success—no more generic advice about what “good” books do. We’re defining greatness for your genre, your readers, and your goals.
A revision process customized to the way you work best.
Confidence in yourself as a writer so you never have to worry that you’re making your book worse.
A coach rooting for you and available to answer your questions in our two live Q&A sessions, our live reverse outline revision workshop, AND via email.
Here’s what my students have to say…
Reader Ready Revisions simply started me looking at the tasks one at a time, and each step was introduced in a timely manner so that the writer sticks to the process at-hand, instead of wandering off down rabbit holes before seeing the WHOLE picture.
Something else one should know about this workshop: You get a gem in Olivia. She is a natural educator as well as a genuine and experienced support system for each writer, no matter how different their projects. Despite my moving more slowly due to outside distractions, she has remained a source of inspiration and a fount of knowledge. Her attitude encourages me to keep moving forward.

I host the course in Thrivecart Learn which has only basic screenreader accessibility. For that reason, core course content is provided in the videos and downloadable resources instead.
Each lesson has a video with captions, but if you find captions distracting, a captionless version is also provided.
Each video also has a downloadable, edited and formatted transcript and a downloadable audio-only version provided.
